Install a filtered community water refill point at an invited Cutler-Orosi site

While East Orosi waits on consolidation, families drive to buy water in jugs — a tax on the poorest for the most basic need. A filtered refill point at a trusted host site, properly certified for the local contaminants, shortens that trip to a walk. One well-maintained public tap changes the daily economics of safe water for the whole community. Standard: NSF/ANSI 58/53 certified filtration at point of distribution + SAFER interim-solution practice; SDG 6 Clean Water. Proof: Photos of installed train, running refill tap, posted sign with GPS/date Method (NSF/ANSI 58/53 certified filtration at point of distribution + SAFER interim-solution practice; SDG 6 Clean Water.): 1. Confirm the host site with an existing compliant supply line and drainage. 2. Mount the filtration train and refill faucet per the manufacturer's template. 3. Plumb to the existing line with specified fittings and install all cartridges and the membrane. 4. Flush, pressure-check, and verify flow quality; post the bilingual use-and-schedule sign. 5. Write the service schedule with the host and photograph the running station, recording with GPS and date. Done when: Photos of installed train, running refill tap, posted sign with GPS/date

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA drinking-water sampling (3Ts / LCR first-draw where lead is in scope)

Bring

• GPS-capable phone
• test kit for each named analyte (nitrate/coliform/arsenic/lead as specified)
• clean sample bottle + label
• nitrile gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the sampling point; confirm GPS is inside the posting radius; record the waypoint.
2. 2. Photograph the tap or wellhead with a legible timestamp.
3. 3. If first-draw is required, sample after >=6h stagnation; if flushed, run the tap 2-3 minutes first, then sample.
4. 4. Fill the bottle without touching the inside; cap immediately.
5. 5. Run each test per kit instructions; wait the exact develop/incubation time; read and record every value with units.
6. 6. Record coliform as present/absent after the stated incubation window.
7. 7. Enter all readings, units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign it.

If it does not match the plan

• Nitrate > 10 mg/L -> tag 'exceeds EPA MCL'; advise no infant consumption pending certified-lab confirmation.
• Total coliform present -> advise disinfection + retest; recommend lab confirmation.
• Arsenic > 10 ppb or Lead > 15 ppb -> tag exceedance; recommend certified-lab confirmation before any consumption guidance.

What counts as done

• GPS waypoint recorded inside the posting radius
• Timestamped photo of the exact sampling point
• Each required analyte recorded with a numeric value + units (or present/absent)
• Sampling type (first-draw vs flushed) explicitly noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
